The goals of this final lab are to learn how to: (1) set up a NEXUS file for the r8s program; (2) interpret the most important parts of the output of r8s; (4) view a tree with divergence times produced by r8s in TreeView.

Using r8s to estimate divergence times

There is no version of r8s for the Windows operating system, so we will use the version installed on the Bioinformatics cluster.

Start the program PuTTY and connect to bbcxsrv1.biotech.uconn.edu

There should be a shortcut to PuTTY on your desktop. Using PuTTY, connect to bbcxsrv1.biotech.uconn.edu.
